TLDR - Blue cards will be for dissent and cynical fouls. Two blues means red. Blue plus yellow also equals red.

Weird.

    I agree with it actually. Will make them think twice about taking a foul “for the team” and it could be more costly than just a card and then carrying on.

      Agreed here. Yellow cards shouldn’t be a “get out of jail free” card for teams dominant enough to limit the opposition to low possession and very few good chances.

        Yes they should, cynical fouls are simply part of the game and often elegant when they’re not dangerous. The player is making a trade-off and can’t commit such fouls when already cautioned. The big problem is that some players from certain teams can get away with making 4 fouls before even being shown a card.

        Going down to 10 men in football for any period of time is insanely expensive, and we need less referee ambiguity determining the fate of games instead of more.
